SCRIPT:
Hallo, this is Hans the Dutch guy with Much Dutch, and this time we will see how to pronounce in a regular Dutch accent the days of the week. We will run through all of them once, and then each day individually.
All the days have that harsh Dutch G sound, the gggg, but in most cases you can soften them up a bit.
You will also hear the EI, which is for many languages uncommon, but with a bit of practice you will get there. And the same goes for the rolling R. You don’t have to overpronounce it.
Ok, let’s run through the week once:
Maandag
Dinsdag
Woensdag
Donderdag
Vrijdag
Zaterdag
Zondag
Let’s start again with maandag.
As with all the days of the week, the emphasis is always on the first syllable:
MAAN-dag
Maandag
Maandag
Ik moet maandag naar school.
I have to to school on Monday.
Maandag
Next up is dinsdag.
Dinsdag
Emphasis on DINS:
DINS-dag
Dinsdag.
Mijn vergadering is op dinsdag.
My meeting is on Tuesday.
Dinsdag
Woensdag is next.
Woensdag.
Emphasis again on the first syllable:
WOENS-dag
Woensdag
Ik heb op woensdag een afspraak.
I have an appointment on Wednesday.
Woensdag.
Fourth day of the week is donderdag.
Emphasis on DONDER:
DONDER-dag
Don-der-dag
Donderdag.
Ik moet donderdag naar de tandarts.
I have to go to the dentist on Thursday.
Donderdag.
Then, vrijdag.
Slight emphasis on VRIJ
VRIJ-dag
Vrijdag.
We gaan vrijdag naar de bioscoop.
We are going to the cinema on Friday.
Vrijdag.
Zaterdag is next.
Again, the first syllable gets the emphasis:
ZAterdag.
ZA-TER-DAG
Zaterdag.
Laten we zaterdag naar Amsterdam gaan.
Let’s go to Amsterdam on Saturday.
Last day of the week is zondag.
ZON-dag, the emphasis on the first syllable.
ZON-DAG.
Zondag.
Het gaat zondag regenen.
It is going to rain on Sunday.
Zondag.
Ok, let’s go through all of the days once more:
Maandag
Dinsdag
Woensdag
Donderdag
Vrijdag
Zaterdag
Zondag.
And those are the days of the week, pronounced in Dutch.
